Wonderful day tour to Saqqara

The tour guide will meet you at your hotel in the morning and take you on the best tour to see the well-known Saqqara attractions in Cairo.

First, you will visit The Step Pyramid is one of Egypt's most recognizable structures, and for good reason. It marks a significant historical moment in the development of funerary monuments in ancient Egypt, revolutionizing stone construction and royal burials. It is not only the first pyramid ever built by the ancient Egyptians, but it is also the oldest known ancient Egyptian stone structure, in addition to its beauty and monumental scale.

The sound stop on your trip is the Pyramid of Unas. The fact that this pyramid contains the original example of the eulogy texts known as Pyramid Texts gives it great significance. These texts, which were engraved on the burial chamber's walls, contained magical instructions that aided the deceased pharaoh's journey to the afterlife.

After that, you will visit the tomb of Idut, At this location, it is one of the most significant tombs. When the Fifth Dynasty came to an end and the Sixth Dynasty began, the owner of the object was a princess from the Royal Family. The tomb is renowned for its enchanting scenes, which stand out for their gorgeous multiple colors and vivid depictions of offering-making and other regular activities, which are distinguished by their charm.

then you'll visit Saqqara's Tite Pyramid. With texts from other pyramids, it is the second known pyramid. Excavations have revealed a funerary temple, two queen pyramids with associated cult structures, and a satellite pyramid.

Moreover, you'll go to the Mereruka tomb. The mastaba of Mereruka is the largest and most elaborate of all the non-royal tombs in Saqqara, with a total of 33 rooms or chambers.

And also, you can see the revered Apis bulls that were buried in the Serapeum at Saqqara and were associated with the god Ptah, whose cult center was in Memphis. An avenue of sphinxes leads to the Serapeum, which consists of two lengthy corridors and once housed the mummified remains of the bulls. The tomb was in use from Amenhotep III's New Kingdom reign until the Ptolemaic Period.

Finally, you will visit Imhotep Museum to know more about the history of ancient Egyptian people.

In the end, the tour leader will back you to the hotel in Cairo.
